  George Douglas Brown - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
George Douglas Brown (1869 - 1902), novelist, who sometimes used the pen name George Douglas, wrote The House with the Green Shutters, which gives a strongly outlined picture of the harder and less genial aspects of Scottish life and character.
An annual event in Brown's memory The Green Shutters Festival of Working Class Writing is held each year in his birthplace Ochiltree, in East Ayrshire (believed to be the model for "Barbie" the village in his most famous novel).

George Douglas Brown, who sometimes wrote under the pen names Kennedy King and George Douglas, was born on 26th January 1869 in Ochiltree, Ayrshire to George Douglas Brown, a farmer, and Sarah Gemmel, a farm-servant of Irish descent; Brown was illegitimate.
Before he was due to sit his final examinations, he returned to Ayrshire to nurse his mother in her last illness; the consequent mixture of stress and grief contributed to his taking only a third class degree in the examinations of 1895.
By contrast, Brown's small community, Barbie, based on Ochiltree, is a nest of jealousy and spite, often expressed in the "barbed" comments of the "bodies", local gossips.

George is the epitome of an experienced racing fan.
While engrossed in a weekend's F1 activities, George (a professional architect by trade) often becomes so incensed with the "poor driving abilities" of many of the professional drivers that he slips into the role of his alter ego, Jorge Von Katinmacher, the oldest Formula One driver in history.
He was at the Speedway for many historical Indy 500 moments including Tom Sneva's first 200+ run, Gordon Johncock's sprint to the finish, Jacques Villenuve's extra lap victory and provided exclusive at-the-track coverage of the 1997 race for ABC Sports on AOL.
